That style of code is totally ugly and unusable. What if your original list of data erroneously switched two characters and you now have to swap the last and next-to-last character? This coding style is flawed in that aspect. You should use the following coding style instead:

push (@Hibbs_Daglish_Schwartz_Vroom, ""
         . chr(0b1010110)
         . chr(0b1110010)
         . chr(0b1101111)
         . chr(0b1101111)
         . chr(0b1101101)
     );

Actually I use this coding style when manipulating SQL SELECT statements:

SELECT monkey, bananas from my_table
  where 1 = 1
  and   flung_poo is null
  and   size > 800
;
